I am a Hong Kong girl who finished a year abroad in UK 2016-2017.

I may be a little bit quiet when you first meet me (I hope this won't put you off!) as I am an introvert, but when we discuss interesting topics I can be very talkative. I am a good listener, I am interested in all sort of things, and I smile a lot.

I like learning. So I will be really glad if you tell me something I never know before. I like reading and writing too, writing consists of a very important part of me. I write diaries, articles, letters... so if you enjoy writing, maybe we can be penpal!

Of course I like travelling, I spent almost 5 months travelling in Europe during my year abroad, and had some really great time and stories to tell:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like travelling and meeting new people! When I travel I enjoy bumping into random people and chat with them. It's always so interesting to talk with different people and learn about their views and cultures. And my hosts were all amazing so I want to continue doing this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- indie music, rock (am listening to British rock, Beatles is my all time favourite, David Bowie, the Smiths and New Order), folk (Leonard Cohen! Neil Young), Cantonese and Mandarin songs

Movies- Before Triology (my friends always mock me as a hopeless romantic but I am not), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Life is Beautiful, Sing Street, movies by Wong Kar Wai and Iwai Shunji (if you are into Asian films!)

Books- I read a lot of Chinese books as I study Chinese Language and Literature. The Unbearable lightness of being, Little Prince. Alain de Botton I adore him. I read a little bit of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on exchange in UK from Hong Kong and making most of my time to travel around Europe! Enjoyed my life in a beautiful university city.

Teach, Learn, Share

All about languages. I can speak fluent Cantonese, Mandarin and English, and am learning French and Spanish. Ask me anything about Chinese (Chinese History/calligraphy/literature etc.)

I am also willing to share my culture and travelling experience, and to learn about other people's stories. To me, everybody is like a huge interesting book ready to be explored :)
